While I Whiten... Create A Brighter Smile With Smile Brilliant

5.11.2018

When Smile Brilliant contacted me to try out their custom whitening trays and teeth-whitening gel, I was super excited! I haven't whitened my teeth since college, but back then I used to have a really pretty, white smile, just using crest white strips. Because the past few years have been dedicated to making babies and breastfeeding those babies, I took a break from whitening my teeth. Now that I'm done with those stages of life, it's the perfect time to start a whitening regimen again, and I couldn't be happier with theresults!

What is it?

Smile Brilliant is ateeth-whitening system where you take molds of your teeth, send those molds off, and receive custom trays for your teeth. You fill those trays with whitening gel each day, and then follow-up with desensitizing gel. The claim is that with custom-fitted trays, each angle of your tooth touches the whitening gel, and there's a more even whitening effect. And, after using this system, I agree!

I chose to whiten my teeth in the evenings before bed. We usually pile up on the couch as a family. Sometimes, we watch a movie together, but most times, there's just a movie on in the background while Ross and I play with the kids. Really, you can do pretty much anything you choose, while you whiten, except eat. Then, I would put in my desensitizing gel, and wait another 20 minutes or so, before I was finished altogether. I'm really pleased to say I had very little sensitivity, and I do have sensitive teeth. And, as I mentioned before, I saw great results! My teeth look whiter, and my smile is brighter, which I feel makes me look younger and more healthy. Wins all around!

The Breakdown

1. My teeth got significantly whiter. It's really quite noticeable, to me, and it has made me more confident in my smile!

2. Since you're wearing trays with whitening gel or sensitivity gel in them for the better part of two hours, you can't snack during that time. This cut down on my night-time snacking, and I actually lost a few pounds. The first couple of nights, I probably would have considered this a negative attribute, but once I got used to less snacking in the evening, and my clothes started fitting a little looser, I viewed it as a good thing!

3. The desensitizing gel really helped my sensitivity. I hated that sensitive-teeth feeling that I used to get when I whitened my teeth years ago, and I was a little afraid to experience that again. I was really happy with how well the gel worked to reduce the sensitivity.

4. The custom-fitted trays really do ensure that every part of your tooth gets whitened, and I really appreciated that. The corners of my teeth used to be the tale-tale signs of staining, but not anymore! I really do love that about this system!

5. It's worth the cost. You'd spend lots more in a dentist's office for the same results. And, you simply can't get the same results from those whitening strips and at-home teeth whitening gels. The custom-fitted trays are really key, and this system hit a home-run.

6. All-in-all, this was the best whitening system I've ever used. I really enjoyed the experience, overall, and I would recommend it to anyone.

My Results

You can see from the before and after
pictures below that my teeth did get several shades whiter. I want to note that
I have a visible filling on my left upper incisor (so it's on your right side).
Most teeth whitening doesn't whiten fillings, and that seemed to be the case,
here. Still, I'm happier overall with my smile, even with the permanently stained
filling, and I would do it again (and will do it again in a few months, to keep
my teeth this white!).

Courtney, did you order the sensitivity kit? My kit came with desensitizing gel that really really helped. I also started with 45 minutes, and slowly bumped up the time through the two weeks that I whitened. I felt just a little sensitivity, a few times, but nothing irritating at all!
